Firing of Brendon Eich has shown me what type of a company you really are. I have no desire to support a bigoted company such as yours, especially when you back down like cowering wimps to the Gay & Lesbian groups. If that is your wish, I hope the 4 to 5% of the Gay community is enough to keep your company afloat. I'm out ....... and back on Internet Explorer.

Mozilla is not in the wrong or the bad guy here.

He left as his way of helping Mozilla and Mozilla community. However as I said before some including yourself are seeing it differently.

They knew about donation since 2011 and supported him still to promote him from CTO to CEO. If they did not support him then he would not have been made CEO in first place nor encouraged him to stay in some capacity when he resigned.

I bet even if he had gone back to being CTO people would still be mad at Mozilla or be having the wrong misconceptions of what happened. Mozilla why u force him to go back to CTO!?!?!? Bleep you on your blah blah rant rant.

Unfortunately many are assuming he must have been fired or forced out all due to his personal choice to leave for now versus going back to CTO or another role as the board members encouraged him to.

Please see these links to help clear your misconceptions up.

I feel he left as a result of unwarranted pressures to step down to another position. I will maintain my use alternate software. I believe Mozilla's true colors have been exposed.
